Just got back from trip to
Peake....(thanks everybody we stayed with there, for a gr8 weekend)....
When I got home I set about installing the latest bit of gadgetry to the GU.
Post number 27,263 had a follow-up from "ENGINE SAVER LOW
WATER ALARMS".
Upon reading this, I ordered a unit from the proprietor, David Jones. It arrived a couple of days later with clear instructions and I fitted it today.....took about 45 minutes.
Now I have another buzzer and a HUGE red LED to let me know if I've had a loss of coolant. I'll sleep better tonight.
Thanks David.
Cheers
Roachie
PS: I have no interest whatsoever in the aforementioned company/business.

You want to hope NASA is not watching this site or they might just commission your vehicle in it's current form, put a rocket up her and send her on the next mission to Mars. It has more safety switches and buzzers than the last couple of shuttles sent skyward.
In all senserity, hope it works
well for you. Talking of things working, how did the O-ring work out for you. If it didn't I was thinking if an old rubber thong would do the trick ?? (cut to the right size of course)
Cheers mate, am looking forward to the day we catch up.
Regards Trevor.

G'day Trevor,
Yes mate, the new O ring seems to have had the desired effect...it's all back together and working without any oil leaks. I've moved my dual battery into the cargo area and ran 2 heavy cables through to the existing isolator/solenoid. I have now mounted the AMSOIL dual head by-pass filtration system onto existing (2nd) battery tray.
Will look forward to seeing what affect the turbo changeover has on performance &/or engine heat (as the new turbo is NOT
water cooled, there maybe a little less heating of the
water as a result).
Cheers mate
Roachie

Hey Roachie,
I may have missed it I got eye strain reading the list or mods to your Rig, and my missus calls me Mr Gadget,, geeeeeze. Seriously, best gadget I have in my rig is a set of tyrealerts. Saved a couple of tyres already and also saves changing the bloody things in a hot dirt road, which is the normal pace to get a flat, alarm goes of at set pressure, just pull up put a couple of tyre ropes in, pump her back up and on the way. A may just have to show the wife the extra's on your 4X4 it may get her to loosen the purse strings LOL

Since I know both of you, I can let you know Roachies secret. Roachie is the boss at work AND at home (AND I know your not on both fronts)and meek and mild wifey just goes along and agrees with whatever Roachie wants. He might be coming up this way soon and I can put the 2 of you together so you can get some tips. It's a pity Roachie is not puter savvy or you could sell him some of your goodies.

Des,
I'll be over there at Berry on wednesday this week getting Chris to work his magic on the trol. Will have a day to kill, so if you've got any suggestions? (now, be polite!!!!) hehehe.
Annette has given up on me and the trol as a lost cause.
Stupid part about it is that I've now got a stuffed back today from all the contorting I had to do to get the one millionth piece of leccy cable through the firewall whilst doing this latest bit of wizardry.
Maybe I'll have to find out where Blaze hangs out and we can compare notes.
Cheers
Roachie

G'day Andrew,
Sorry for delay....... No leccy fuel pump put on yet...probably won't worry about it anyway.
Changed my coolant yesterday and took the opportunity to check that the low
water alarm actually works in real-world conditions.....it did.
Cheers mate
